Selank (10mg)

Selank – Research Peptide

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of tuftsin, a naturally occurring tetrapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) produced by enzymatic cleavage of the immunoglobulin G heavy chain. Its full amino acid sequence (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) incorporates a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension that substantially increases resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to native tuftsin, extending its biological stability.

Researchers frequently investigate Selank for its effects on GABAergic neurotransmission, where it is studied as a modulator of GABA-A receptor activity and related gene expression pathways in the frontal cortex and hippocampus. It is also examined for its influence on serotonergic and dopaminergic signaling systems, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, and enkephalin-degrading enzyme activity. As a tuftsin-derived compound, Selank is additionally studied in immunological research contexts involving cytokine regulation and immune cell signaling. Its multi-pathway profile makes it a widely studied compound in neuropeptide and neuroimmune research.
